"I heard someone screaming," said Denny’s Manager Diane Couturier. Couturier had been working in the office, when she heard her waitress's cries for help. Couturier ran out of the office and says she saw Janet Parker, 61, being stabbed in the chest. "She was on the couch screaming, ‘'don't, don't, don't," said Couturier.

Police says Parker's estrange husband had been holding the knife. Couturier says she knew the couple had been having problems, but never imagined this violence could spill into her work place, at a family restaurant, in front of stunned coworkers and a half-dozen customers. "I was shocked. Oh my God, in my store. He just walked in and started stabbing her," said Couturier.

Couturier said when she stepped in, thankfully the stabbing stopped. "He was just a man in rage. I don't know what he would have done. When he saw me, he took off out the door," said Couturier.

Witnesses weren't going to let Parker get away. As he ran out of the restaurant, the manager said she gave a customer her cell phone. That customer called 911 and reported the stabbing suspect was heading over the bridge. He ran right into police custody. Officers said they also found the knife used in the stabbing.

"They got him and everything in custody. Hopefully, God willing, it'll be a long-time before he ever gets out," said Couturier.
